   This would be a fairly significant change just because currently
our history file doesn't include the title so the format on disk would
have to change.  However I've added the full URL as a tool-tip on the
menu item.  This is probably a useful thing to have in any case.

   If you could file the title in 'history' menu as an RFE (request 
for extension) in bugzilla that will make sure that it isn't forgotten,
as I think that it probably the right way to go in the future.

yes, thats useful in any case. I can confirm that this tooltip works. It 
helps me distinguishing my files.

Thanks for adding this feature.
